Staff very friendly. All grounds and facilites on the park were maintained to a very high standard. The pitches are of a very decent size with plenty of space between. Toilets and showers immaculate and the showers were hot and powerful.The heated outdoor pool was very clean and much appreciated.Nice dog walking area and easy access to the Tarka Trail for either off road cycling or walking.The bar was nice with drinks at pub prices.
Facilities super, the team at Smythan do a great job. Loved the location & site overall, exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. Easy access to Aroad but quiet too. Nice & easy to travel around the area. Thank you all at Smythan
When we arrived we had a spacious en suite pitch so there was plenty of room for our car and awning. Everyone was friendly and helpful and we had a lovely relaxing stay at Smytham.
This is our second time returning to Smytham and we will definitely be back again next year! This is probably now our favourite campsite to visit! We love it. It feels so peaceful and calm but also has things to entertain the kids, such as the swimming pool and games room. The site is so clean, everything is maintained and kept to a really high standard. The staff are all really friendly and so helpful too! It’s not too far from beaches, which are also beautiful and have lovely little seaside towns! We did the Tarka trail and hired bikes from the site, which was really lovely and the kids enjoyed! I honestly have nothing bad to say about this campsite, we love it!!!!
This is a great campsite, we’ve stayed 5 times now. The facilities are spotlessly clean. The shower block is one of the best I’ve seen on a campsite, although the last few times we’ve treated ourselves to an en-suite pitch which is brilliant. We love the grounds of the site, the dog walking area is lovely and the little details like fairy houses hidden in the trees are great for younger visitors. We always enjoy a walk along the Tarka Trail to Yarde cafe and have also hired bikes and ridden out past Instow. It’s a lovely campsite with something for all ages.
Satff frienliness was excellent.Pitch was great.Showers and toilets were excellent.Amenities ok.Perhaps a site set up for a peaceful retreat for couples rather than one for a family with active kids?Only stayed two nights, would return in the future.
Lovely, friendly staff, tidy and attractive site with beautiful woodland, well maintained pool and great access to tarka trail.
The site was probably the best we have been too, very helpful staff and ideal location for RHS Rosemoor. Also good value for money.
Picked this site for sole purpose of visiting RHS rosemore and was not disappointed. Easy access to tarka trail made visiting a breeze.The site is best site we have visited, toilets are clean, facilities are great even down to herb grows which you can pick and never seen a rapid dishwasher on a campsite!Definitely on our list to revisit so we can explore more of the trail.
This site was beautifully landscaped, tidy and very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and we were blessed with perfect weather. We stayed here to access the Tarka Trail and it was very easy directly from the site. Although the slope was challenging! We had an en-suite pitch which was spotlessly clean and so convenient. We would definitely book here again. We also visited Rosemoor RHS Garden which was lovely. The Tarka Trail was beautiful in both directions with lovely smooth surfaces for cycling and plenty of refreshment stops along the way. Our stay was out of season for the bar, so we have no opinion on that. The pool was very clean and inviting.
